Application filed November 8, 1915, Serial No. 60,182. Renewed November 20, 1917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY PRICE BALL, a citizen of the United States, and resident of borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Stove for Burning Solid Fuel, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to improvements in stoves for burning solid fuel and has for its objects:

First. To increase the stove.

Second. To regulate the amount of heat given off by the stove.

Third. To improve the toaster used in connection with the stove.

These and further objects will more fully appear from the following specification and accompanying drawings, considered together or separately.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 is a side view of a stove and toaster embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is an end view of the same;

Fig. 3' is a sectional view on the line 3, 3 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 4, 4: of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 5' is a sectional view on the line 5 of Fig. 1 on an enlarged scale. v

In all views like parts are designated by the same reference characters.

' In carrying out the invention I provide a base 1. This base comprises a cylindrical body 2 having a bottom flange 3. The body is supported on feet as shown. The cylindrical body is provided with a plurality (three being illustrated) of inclined slots 5. These inclined slots extend preferably through the greater part of the vertical distance of the body. In one or more of these slots are teeth 6, preferably the teeth are located on the lower edge of the slot, as shown. Adjacent to the top of the cylindrical part of the body are a plurality of inclined grooves 7. Located within the body is a lamp ring 8. This ring loosely lies within the body so that it may be moved up and down therein. This ring has a flange 9 which is adapted to support the lower part of the lamp. On the side of the ring are lips 10 equal in number to the inclined slots 5. Preferably these lips are made integral with the ring. One of these lips is someetticiency of the Specification of Letters Patent.

what longer than the other and is provided with an operating handle 11. In connection with the lamp ring is a lamp 12 for holding the solid fuel. Any form of lamp may be employed, but I prefer to use that disclosed in my application for patent filed June 30, 1915, Serial No. 37,393. In the preferred embodiment chosen for illustration the lamp is provided with a plurality of vertical grooves 13.

In connection with the base and lamp hereinbefore described is a windshield 14.. This windshield has a slotted side portion 15 to permit escape of some of the hot products of combustion, and an apertured bottom 16 to provide for the entrance of air to support combustion. Below the apertured bottom is a collar 17. This collar is slightly smaller than the cylindrical body 2 and makes a close fit therewith. provided with a plurality of projections 18. These projections are adapted to engage with the inclined grooves 7 and thus form a bayonet lock shield to the base. In addition to the projections the collar is provided with a plurality of lugs 19, of a size and shape to engage with the grooves 13 inthe lamp and but at the moved verprevent rotation of the latter, same time allow the lamp to be tically within the collar.

In connection with the stove hereinbefore described is a utensil 20. Any form of utensil may be employed, such as a boiler. In the embodiment chosen for illustration, I illustrate a toaster. This toaster has a base 21. Near the edge of the base is a flange 22. This flange is of a size so as to lie within the windshield 1d and thus hold the utensil in place. The base 21 is provided with an opening herein shown as substantially rectangular. Located within this opening is a deflector 2%, herein shown as substantially circular in shape. This deflector, as shown in Fig. 5, is downwardly dished and it is so located that its center coincides with the center of the lamp. This deflector is held in position by means of arms 25, preferably four as shown. The deflector and base 21, together with the arms 25, are preferably formed of a single stamping of sheet metal. The toaster body 20 is also preferably made of sheet metal having perforated inclined sides. This body is held in position upon the base 21 by ears 27, such The collar is for connecting the wind ears being secured to the toaster body and ward forming ledges 29 so as to hold the toast clear of the sides of the toaster body. These wires extend down through the base 21 a suflicient distance to form legs 30. On one end of the toaster is a suitable handle 31.

It is apparent that the parts being assembled as shown, that the solid fuel ignited in the lamp will burn, air being admitted thrmigh the apertured bottom 16 and the products of combustion will pass out partly through the slotted side 15 and partly through the opening 23 around the deflector 2d. The lamp is supported upon the lamp ring 8 and thelatter is supported upon the lips 10 which enter the inclined slots 5, the ring being kept from rotating by engage ment of one of the lips with one of the teeth 6. The position of the lamp in relation to the deflector is readily adjusted by movement of the handle 11. As this handle is moved the ring 8 will be rotated and the lips 10 engaging with the inclined slots 5 will elevate or lower the ring and with it the lamp and the engagement of the grooves 13 with the lugs 19 will prevent rotation of the lamp. As the lamp is elevated it comes nearer to the deflector, and the space between the edge of the lamp and the deflector is reduced and therefore the flame is correspondingly reduced. When the lamp is at its lowest level the flame is at its maximum. It is to be understood that if in place of the toaster shown a boiler or other utensil is employed, then the bottom of the same will take the place. of the deflector.

WVhile I have shown the base and windshield of the stove as made separately so that they may be folded with greater comact it i to be understood that they are not necessarily made that way.

In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, I have described the principle of my invention together with the apparatus which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is merely illustrative and that the invention may be carried out in other ways.

Having now described my invention, what 'I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s: 1. A stove for ing a base and windshield, porting a deflector thereon, means within the base for supporting a lamp, and means Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Washington, D.
